Legal requirement of not being a qualified accountant f
Can any senior please guide me in this regard,
I am establishing my own bookkeeping and general accountancy firm, I am not a qualified accountant yet but have more than 3 years experience in accountancy practices.
I am a graduate (accounting and financial management) and nearly qualified in next year.
I need to show to UKBA (for visa purposes) that I can even setup this bookkeeping and accountancy firm without being member of any accountancy body as there is not any legal prohibition to do such bookkeeping firm as most of the accountant doing for individuals, small business and companies (not audited company accounts).
Even companies house doesn't have any requirement of appointment of a qualified accountants for unaudited accounts. Same is HMRC - They assign agent logins without demanding whether your are qualified accountant/tax adviser or not. But still need to show to UKBA that I can do such firm...
I just need that document of legal provisions that for (bookkeeping) tax returns, unaudited accounts etc there wouldn't be requirement of being a qualified accountant.

Many thanks.
I have looked their website and no such information, not any customer services personnel able to point the applicable rules.
I would appreciate your effort if you please specify the rules if you have gone through.....
